Poppy King Creates Lipstick Collection for Boots No.7

poppy king boots no7

Lipstick Queen, Poppy King has teamed up with beauty brand, Boots No.7, to launch a lipstick collection. The collection, ‘The Magic of Lipstick’, was created in a one year time frame and consists of seven lipsticks and seven glosses to match.

King has been a Boots No.7 fan after she discovered the brand during a trip to London. While designing the line, she wanted to draw inspiration from the 1930s.

“I wanted to use the silver that was on the Boots packaging then, and the shape and styling of the number ’7′ reminiscent of the ’30s,” said King. ”I wanted to ease women back into lipstick — the Boots’ customer needs something that works, something that is elegant, and something that is low maintenance.”

The shades are inspired by seven reasons why lipstick is “magical”:

  • History- blue-based cherry red
  • Power- sheer raspberry
  • Glamour- sophisticated pink
  • Seduction- deep wine (inspired by 1920s flapper girl)
  • Intrigue- the perfect pinky-nude
  • Confidence- classic honey nude (think Brigitte Bardot)
  • Allure- peachy nude

Each lipstick and gloss tube comes in a dotted box which King said was inspired by Marilyn Monroe’s infamous beauty spot- “imperfections make us who we are,” she says. The line is now available at shopbootsusa.com and will also be added in select Target stores later on this month. Retail price is $9.99.

Nail Polish Find – Illamasqua Theater of the Nameless Nail Lacquer, Kink

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Illamasqua’s Theater of the Nameless Fall/Winter 2011 collection is influenced by the idea of a nocturnal den of the dissident leaders of underworld subcultures, where exotic dancers rub shoulders with actors and anarchists.

The tones of the collection are darkly sophisticated accompanied by shocks of dazzling iridescence and kinky rubber-look finishes. For the nail varnishes that are part of the collection, the 4 unique Fall shades also have satin, not glossy finish.

What this means is that they have created them to replicate a rubberized finish. When the colors dry, they really do look like you’ve put tiny pieces of colored “rubber” on them. It’s not quite a “matte look”, but it’s not your traditional shiny finish either. If you are looking for something fresh and different, then you’ll have to apply a similar finish top coat to maintain that look. If you like it shiny, then applying a high shine top coat with alter the appearance.

These polishes have a thin consistency, but apply very smoothly and it did not streak on my nails. Kink (shown above), is my favorite color in the collection, a rich, deep Forest green that looks true to the shade in the bottle with two coats. I think this is one of the more versatile shades in the collection. It will appeal to those of you looking for a dark shade without shimmer/glitter, that’s not a black/blue, as well as those of you who like greens, and are really to go a little darker. It’s slightly edgy and chic at the same time.- RLB

Nourish Your Fashion Palette

When craving inspiration, I really find that I can draw on almost anything around me.  With the cooler temperatures coming and the gorgeous harvest accompanying it, fall foods and foliage have become my newest muse. Thus, my latest creative endeavor; mimicking my surroundings in my fashion/beauty choices.

Cranberries + Covetable Lipstick

This Nars Pure Matte Lipstick ($25) is an instant pick-me-up for the face. The matte finish is appropriate for the day, while ideally provides enough “oomph” for night.  This berry hue is my favorite, but all 11 shades are certainly luscious.

Asos Tailored Belted Ponti Fit and Flare Skirt ($27.94)

Acorn Squash + Adorable Skirt

This mustardy-squash yellow is a great pop of color for fall. Work it in the same way you would a neutral beige for day or jazz it up at night with wedges and a chunky sweater. Either way, the flirty fit-and-flare look makes this skirt a must.

 

Nasty Gal Boulder Knit- Mocha ($48)

Hot Cocoa + Cozy Sweater

In much the same way that a steamy hot cocoa warms the soul, this mocha sweater from NastyGal.com imparts that super snugly vibe. Whether you prefer a Mocha Latte, Hot Chocolate, or even a  Pumpkin Spice Latte, we can all agree that bulky knits and earth tones are simply perfect for Fall.

OPI “Touring America” Collection, Essie “Very Structured“, Deporah Lippman “Single Ladies“, and Chanel “Peridot“

Nature’s Leaves + Nails

Fall nail colors have shifted from summer’s brights. Auburns, khakis, mauves, apple-cidery shades– you could have a new tip tone for every week if so desired. Don’t forget a little shimmer! Fall’s lacquer collections really offer a variety of shades – statement or neutral.

Free People 2 Pocket Sheer Crop Top ($88)

Pumpkin Pie + Pretty Blouse

Mmm, pumpkin pie. Creamy and divine, every bite tastes like fall. This sheer cropped blouse is a functional, transitional piece as it gets a bit cooler.  The best part? The flow of the blouse is as cozy as the comfort food it mimics.

Fresh Sugar Honey Lip Treatment

 

Fresh Skincare was the first cosmetic company to use natural ingredients when they emerged in 1991. They have not wavered from their original stance for over 20 years incorporating ingredients like sugar, rice, or milk in their products. Their natural formulations extend to Fresh Sugar Honey Lip Treatment SPF 15 ($22.50). This lip treatment is a multipurpose, long lasting lip product that won’t let you down. Sheer lips have been on the runways for a couple of seasons now and Fresh’s color choices like warm honey are suitable for all complexions. The Sugar Honey Lip Treatment nourishes and repairs lips with key ingredients of sugar, avocado oil, and vitamins A, C, and E. The only obstacle was the screw off top where traditionally you just pull off the top. This “nourishment in the nude” was a great, versatile product that reduces the need for multiple lip products.

Burberry Convertible Leather Satchel

burberry-convertible-leather-satchel
Burberry is typically known for the signature and oh so recognizable pattern. While I can appreciate the pattern on a scarf, the inside lining of a coat or on a small accessory, I never like it on large bags. It looks just too busy for my taste. So, I would have to say I was pleasantly surprised when I came across the Burberry Convertible Leather Satchel. In fact, I couldn’t even tell for sure that it was Burberry when I first saw it. The glossy grain leather has a detachable crossbody strap as well as double handles. I’m not really a cross-body strap kind of girl, but it is always nice to have options! The color of the leather is not only fabulous, but also timeless. Without a doubt, this is one handbag that will get a lot of use. Keep up the good work Burberry!
